Interactive Comic Thingamahickey 2 part 5

I just drew the fifth part of our second interactive comic.

Here's my part. Since it doesn't give a lot of room for good enough reference, I uploaded sketches for the airboat thing and our yet unnamed grumpy pilot.

The Interactive Comic Thingamahickey 2

A small group of us has started up an interactive comic, in which we piece together a comic one page at a time. This is the second time we've tried this, and since the first time was a lot of fun, we're hoping this time it'll get rolling as well!

If anyone's interested, the hub blog can be found here:
http://thingamahickey.blogspot.com/

You can also follow the comic's Twitter (@thingamahickey), or join the Google discussion group (whether or not you're a contributor!) here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/thingamahickey

We're hoping to have a lot of fun with this, and any support is welcome and appreciated!

Animal Crossing-- Catching Bugs

Animal Crossing—Catching Bugs

AC Cliff

This was my submission to the Animal Crosszine (it didn't make the cut-- oh well! Check it out, there's a lot of fantastic art in it). I've probably redrawn some variation of this idea five times by now, but I always found it particularly infuriating when a bug would fly off a cliff or over the water, or somewhere else that your character can't reach.

Batch of doodles and animation

I realized I never posted this stuff to my blog.
Virtue’s Last Reward—Phi
http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae96/tonchiki/Doodles/VLR0102wm_zps5379c14d.png
Phi from Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward. I drew her a bit differently than I did Luna.
I really dig Phi's design so I felt like drawing her. I also want to try to draw Sigma at some point. (I don't particularly like Sigma as a character, but I do like his design.) This isn't the most graceful composition of text and logos, but eh whatever.

I haven't doodled anything in a while.The boy in the scarf on the bottom was one I doodled while waiting for my main laptop to boot up. I won that race.
Man all I ever draw are similar-looking kids. Time to branch out huh

Lunch a Bunch
Gene is out of food, so he invites his pal Joe Wisconsin on an adventure to find some. Unfortunately, it proves harder than he expected.
I did this for an animation project at school using our own characters that are dear to Wonocva and I. I'm not happy with most of the animation, but that's what you get during a frantic semester. I'm just glad I got the thing to a consistent level by the end.

Wisconsin and Gene run cycle
A quick run cycle from the credits sequence of an animated short I made for school using two of our own characters, Joe Wisconsin (left) and Gene (right).

Virtue’s Last Reward-- Luna

Virtue’s Last Reward—Luna
VLR 01.001

Luna from Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward on 3DS and Vita. One of my favorite characters from the game (very unexpectedly!).
I'm thinking of drawing the rest of the cast like this as well (if I do, there will be no spoilers). I'll probably hate drawing Alice and Clover though; they're two of my least favorites. At the very least I want to draw Sigma and Phi too, because I like their designs.

Doodles 16

Doodles 24 01.01

I've been quiet on the drawing front lately. Been busy and/or unmotivated.
These are a bunch of generic doodles. I've been trying out my Fujitsu tablet PC I got recently (it's really great for sketching!).

Gravity Rush doodle

Gravity Rush doodle
Gravity Rush 01 wm

Kat from Gravity Rush.
There's a ton wrong with this picture and I can't draw legs or arms or hands or anything to save my life. (If anyone has any pointers I'd appreciate it greatly.) Makes it seem more obvious why I usually draw characters with the baggiest and most concealing clothing possible.
Not that I'd draw more characters with this attire either. Because this outfit is pretty stupid. But it was a fun game and a fun character.
I need to start drawing more often or I'll never get any better at this.

Link run cycle

Link run cycle

Link from the Wind Waker.
A really quick practice loop. It's really messy and things change proportions and sizes, but I was just messing around for practice. My animation process is horribly inefficient, even for the simplest things, so I need to work on it.

Rhythm Heaven animation loop

DJ School Flash animation loop
A Flash animation made in the style of the DJ School game in Rhythm Heaven (DS). I was GOING to use this as an animated ID on deviantArt, but then I found out that the site doesn't let you use Flash for that, and then I found out that they don't even let you use reasonably-sized GIFs, and THEN I found out they don't let you use animated images at all. So... damn it. That's the entire reason I was doing this.

Oh well.
Here it is anyway.



Here's the specific game it was based on:

Doodles 15

 Doodles 15
Doodles 23 01.00 wm

Some miscellaneous doodles. Mostly just random characters that don't have any significance, though there is also fan art in there, in the form of Link from the Wind Waker and Shizune from Katawa Shoujo (top-center and top-right respectively).
